You are quite correct, many Utah fans did make those
Rose Bowl predictions. I was not one of those delusional fans. So, when it
comes down to it, BYU and Utah are more or less in a similar boat, losing the
games that really count, winning the ones that don't mean so much. So
really, the only way to judge the distance between these two teams is the
rivalry game, and I don't think I have to remind you how that game has gone
in recent years. Forgive me for venting my frustration that stems from the
ludicrous predictions of a large portion of BYU fans (still less than %50). I
was born and raised in Provo, i've been attending every BYU football and
basketball game since I was 5. If I had been raised in SLC and the cougars had
hired Kyle or Reynolds like they should have instead of Crowton then I would
likely be a BYU fan much like yourself.
